CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 375

A systems administrator hears a clicking noise coming from a storage array that has a RAID configuration. No LEDs are illuminated on the array, but the logs show several hard drive errors. Which of the following should the systems administrator do to quickly eliminate the clicking?

Answer options

• A. Reinstall the drive
• B. Replace the bad drive.
• C. Reset the RAID software.
• D. Run a chkdsk on the drive.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Replacing the faulty drive is the most effective solution to stop the clicking noise and address the hard drive errors indicated in the logs. Reinstalling the drive may not resolve physical issues, resetting the RAID software does not fix hardware problems, and running a chkdsk is not applicable if the drive is already failing.
